Truck

Use this option to set up the individual trucks that distribute your publication. The truck IDs that are assigned here will then be used when defining truck sequences and truck departure orders. See the this chapter’s Introduction for more information about trucks.

Note: Because truck IDs are used in many places in Circulation, changing IDs after setup is a time consuming process. Therefore, be sure to carefully plan your truck delivery system.

To set up trucks:

1. In character Circulation, select Distribution | Truck | Truck to display the Truck Setup screen.

   
2. Select Add and enter data in the fields described below.

   Field	Type	What to enter
   TRUCK	open (8)	Enter a truck ID.
   START DATE, END DATE	date	Enter a date range for this truck.
   TRUCK NAME	open (20)	Enter a name describing this truck.

3. Select Specifics and find or add an occupant (driver) for this truck in the Circulation database. See the User Manual for more information about occupant records. If you have InsertPlus, you can also add the truck to an ad zone (see the InsertPlus manual for more information).

4. Select Accept to accept the truck, along with occupant specifics.

5. Set up more trucks, or press F4 and select Exit to exit to the Setup menu.
